Indiana congressman Dan Burton calls for Janet Napolitano to resign
Not likely to happen. We still haven’t seen Kevin Jennings resign, after it was revealed he and his group GLSEN gave out gay porn among other things to kids in school. But at least one congressman, Dan Burton (R-Ind.) has called on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to resign after the recent attempted airline bombing about “How the system worked.” From The Hill:
The veteran member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee called for Napolitano’s ouster in the wake of the attack on the Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day.
Earlier this year, some Republicans called on Napolitano to step down after her agency issued a report warning of the dangers of right wing “extremists.”
Burton made his remarks on Twitter:
Secretary Janet Napolitano should resign, saying ‘the system worked,’ undermines the confidence of Americans #redin #tcot
Napolitano came under fire after she said Sunday that “the system worked,” noting the crew of Flight 253 “took appropriate action” to address the terrorist plot as it unfolded.
But her remarks were met with instant criticism, prompting the Homeland Security chief to clarify herself during a round of media appearances Monday morning.
The secretary then conceded on Monday that the system did not work.
“Our system did not work in this instance,” Napolitano told “The Today Show.” “I think the comment is being taken out of context.”
Other Republicans, such as House intelligence committee ranking member Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), have criticized the handling of the attempted bombing, saying that the administration has not done enough to address terrorist threats on the United States.
The Obama administration and several congressional committees have said they will launch full investigations into the attack allegedly carried out by 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Abdul Farouk Adbulmutallab.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs over the weekend stressed that the attack should be a “nonpartisan issue.”

Napolitano does need to resign WITHOUT restrictions of any kind. The only person that I know of that would have any sort of restrictions is someone that plays Chicago politics well deary, this is not Chicago. This is the United States of America.
We are land of the free and the home of the brave. We do not play these sort of games and if this woman believes for one second she will get restrictions so she can resign, she has regretfully mistaken the entire Senate for persons that do not follow the federal law. It is not politics as usual in Washington, D.C. as they are to be accounted for each and everything that is done, including not following the judicial and executive order of business.
Janet Napolitano must resign now as she has failed miserably and not been able to keep our country safe from terrorism nor the activities that have taken place.
The Christmas Day event has proven that her resignation must be handed in immediately without expectations. Secondly, America is a sovereignty of many states. Lastly, we do not tolerate or accept terror activity. Because Napolitano has failed on all three points, it is best for her to resign now.
Sir: I would like for you to do what you can to see to it that we can continue to receive “free antenna TV”. Some voters are on a fixed income. And we do not need another bill! Thanks-Ron.
